He got the idea after hearing about the debate over the Confederate flag that raged across the country.

He also kept seeing rainbow flags after the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage across the country. A lot of people on Facebook put a rainbow flag filter over their profile picture.

While all this flag talk has been going on, one question kept popping up in his head. He said, "I didn't see many American flags out there. I thought 'where's old glory, where's the unity in America?'"[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]He reached out to a fellow pilot and they created an app. [/FONT][/COLOR][URL="http://www.celebratetheusa.org/"]www.celebratetheusa.org[/URL][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue] puts an American flag filter on top of your Facebook profile picture.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]Captain Lott said, "We need to remember we are all American and I thought the best was to do that was to flood Facebook with American flags."[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]He says it's one way people can show support for our troops.
